Downtown Baton Rouge Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. SNAP participation runs 29.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 31.8% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Against the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 3.1/10.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
